Two big mistakes:

1. You cannot create a cell with the default initializer UITableViewCell() you have to dequeue it.

2. You have to get the item in the data source array for the index path and assign a value of a property to a label of the cell.

   func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
       let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
       let record = records[indexPath.row]
       cell.textLabel!.text = record.<nameOfProperty>
       return cell
   }
   

cell is the identifier specified in Interface Builder.
<nameOfProperty> is a property in your data model.
